The hunt is everything, as you say, Charlie. If you get a bird, that's a premium.

Dad got one this morning. They are out and about

Yesterday I hunted from before daylight until 11am never heard anything. Got up this morning and fixed a cup of coffee and went out on the back porch. Guess what was standing in the yard. Yep a turkey.We saw each other at the same time.

i took the 8 ga davenport single barrel out of the safe...i then opened the game bore box of black powder shells that were given to me by someone on the forem here to kill a turkey with...this was a none opened box...these shell are almost to pretty to shoot...best looking shell i have...i loaded up the old 8 ga into the 4 wheeler then got my calls and shells and headed off on about a 2 mile trip...i would go about 1/4 of a mile and call and listen for about 15 minutes...boy was it hot must been about 85 degrees...i forgot to say it was about 2 oclock in the evening when i started this hunt..i hunted till 6 oclock but i had no luck hearing a bird..so oft to the house i went so tommorrow me and the old 8 is gona try it again... hey mills your dad got a nice one...now its harry and your turn to get a good one....be expecting to see ya lls picture soon....charlie

It is a frustrating sport for sure. But fun and addictive too

i m fixing to go and get the 4 wheeler and cut out...the 8 ga is already in the over head ravk and the shells in the pocket tray...now if i dont forget my hat and calls i m leaveing it to you guys to put me on a big tom....charlie

Harry and I went back out Sunday and they eluded us. We will have a rematch this Saturday.

Yep, you’ve got to be sitting out there 45 minutes before sunrise.

...and there’s still no guarantees.
